The weekend-Sunday

My Room

The next day we had a quiet an relaxing morning and lunch, followed by an outing with the car to do some more sightseeing. 

We stopped in a little village off the bathroom and I had to admire how every townperson happily greeted us a we passed them on the street with a cheery 'bonjour' we responded in kind of course, but it was nice to note how friendly and welcoming they were.

We then headed to a little village which was a  villages fleuris (one of the prettiest villages in France). It was a very rainy cold day which made things a little miserable especially as we had forgotten umbrellas. However we wandered the pretty town for a while enjoying the view.


The town was beside a river which made it even prettier. 


It was so cold we decided to find a cafe and stopped for coffee and desert. Best idea ever. We found a tiny little place where we were the only occupants and the owners were very friendly. The coffee (cappuccino of course) was delicious and the desert was awesome.

I had a raspberry tart that was just awesome, and Sullivan and I also exchanged some desert so I could try her vanilla custard flan thingy which was the best I've ever tasted. 


Warmed and full we continued to wander around until we couldn't stand the cold any longer.


There was a beautiful castle overlooking the village it unfortunately it was closed, I very much enjoyed the architecture of the houses in the village regardless.


A lovely house with a beautiful ivy covered well.


Next we went to the town of Nevers which had some lovely buildings. 


The cathedral and my group of Workawayers.



I'm not sure how visible it is in the photo but there was a beautiful old fresco on the wall here. 



The inside of this church was by far my favourite in Europe. Not only was it beautiful but also very serene without being gloomy, we all sat and talked quietly near the back for a while, soaking in the atmosphere.


An interesting old clock in the cathedral.

We took some silly photos (although they were sillier than we expected them to be as Mateusz keep making us all laugh) 
                      

Our lovely car.
                                


After that as it was my last night with all of them we went to the local pub in Saint Pierre le moutier, they were so nice there and it was such a lovely little bar that we stayed a few hours, had a few beers and enjoyed each other's company.
Once we got back to the house we played dominoes until a ridiculous hour in the morning. It was a fantastic last night.
